FCI provides temperature switches mounted in thermowells with integral or remote solid state electronics housed in protective enclosures for direct installation into piping and ducting on commercial and military aircraft, spacecraft, vehicles and marine applications. These switches utilize highly reliable Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) elements that provide a linear change in resistance that is directly proportional to temperature changes in the liquid or gas process. The FCI provided electronics are equipped with up to three separate switch points that are set by FCI at customer specified values to indicate temperature changes in the customer’s process fluid. FCI can also provide thermistor and thermocouple elements with switch electronics for requirements specified by the customer.

Please complete and submit the attached Application Data Sheet or contact FCI’s Field Representative in your area to receive a technical quotation for your Temperature Measurement Switch application.
